My recent trip to Tunisia was a delightful blend of adventure and natural beauty, highlighted by my visit to the mesmerizing Zaghouan National Park. Nestled in the Zaghouan region, this park offers a perfect escape for nature enthusiasts.
The park’s lush landscapes and diverse flora and fauna were truly captivating. I wandered through scenic trails, surrounded by the vibrant hues of wildflowers and the melodies of native birds. One of the highlights was the majestic Djebel Zaghouan, the highest peak in the area, offering panoramic views.
Zaghouan National Park is a hidden gem that showcases the rich biodiversity and stunning landscapes of Tunisia. It’s a must-visit for anyone looking to connect with nature and experience the unspoiled beauty of the region.
However, I was struck by the fact that most national parks in the northern region of the country, along the beautiful Atlas Mountains, are quite small, just a few thousand hectares, and heavily encroached upon by humans. This encroachment has led to the disappearance of many charismatic species. This highlights the need for bolstering coexistence approaches between people and nature to ensure that both can flourish.
